After deciding there wasn't enough time to do the colour change before Japfest I decided to just get the bumpers done and the dent in the quarter panel as it was quicker. We it seems to have led to the the spoiler, which mean tailgate and the painter didn't like the other small dents near the petrol cap so the other quarter is done to!! :scared:

 

Still have the water leak to fix, wheels to paint and the interior to fit in 2 1/2 days, aaargh!

Looking good though, liking the high level wing. The front looks very low!

 

Good luck to ya

Did they use a sealer on the bumper before primer? if not crazing and stress marks will appear not long after the paint has dried, ive had a mare with mine.

Looking good though.

grrr, not cool mate, looks as if Japfest is becoming more and more unatainable i guess?

 

At least, by starting again, it will all be done properly.

Yup!

Yup!

 

I got the same problem and sprayed it several times with high build primer until i was told it has to be sealed or it will just keep appearing. Its some sort of barrier sealer, cant remember the name, but needs to be done or you will be chasing the cracks for ever and a day.

Just a taster for you all

 

looking good Ant :biggrin:

seconded and nice taster pic!

Ant, can i ask what type of paint/lacquer combination you are using (1pk/2pk etc)

I'll check tomorrow and let you know as he had such a mare I really can't remember tonight lol. I do know it has 4 coats of lacquer!

Its not 2pk then as it wont need laquer and also if the guy uses 2pk he should really be in an air fed mask, suited up in a spray booth, but some people you never know lol.
